Amuda, Syria, Feb 9, 2018 (AFP) — A US-backed Kurdish-led force in Syria on Friday confirmed capturing British jihadist Alexanda Amon Kotey last month as he attempted to flee from Syria to Turkey.

Redur Khalil, a spokesperson and senior official in the Syrian Democratic Forces, said his fighters had captured many wanted members of the Islamic State group. "One of them is Alexanda Kotey," he told AFP in the northeastern town of Amuda.
